Last day was today...it still has not hit me. I mean, graduation IS in six days and we still have the slideshow, the picnic, the rehearsals, and all that useless stuff. I was thinking about bringing a blow-up something, but I am probably not.
This year's senior pranks were terrible. We had two fails, and two idiotic actions. We had the pennies that were unsuccessfully glued to the key holes of the outside school doors. There was the non-original water balloon prank, which sucked. There was the non-original writing on cars, and there was also the failed prank with the whole eggs thrown at the doors that lead into the gym foyer from the outside. That prank just made the gym foyer smell like wet dog for three days. WTF 2009? Let's get this done. Whatever...I shouldn't be complaining because I am not doing anything. THere is, however, the other prank that is hopefully being brewed. The one that involves Corbin's van. I really hope they pull through on that one! There are good Corbin times and bad corbin times. Mostly bad though. He has way too much power.
Anyways...beach week is in a little over a week, and I am REALLY excited. Got to go...for the last time! Dinner!
PEACE (forever)... :(

Senior Post #3
Am I looking forward to next year? Not really. Unfortunately, I am not really looking forward to it. I do not like being thrown into something that I do not know, or that I am not familiar with. So, in the end, it may be a good thing that I am going to Virginia Tech because there will be so many Herndon people there that I can hang with. I also know some people already going there. I am in the predicament in which I do not know if I want to do marching band. I feel like if I do not, I will miss it too much. So, it may be worth it. The downside is that I have never marched in my life, and they do not have a pit. This may not bode well for me.
As for partying, I am not much of a partier. I hate drinking or smoking or anything like that. I feel that I can wait until I am 21 and the feeling will be that much sweeter. And plus, why drink just to get drunk and throw up? Sure it may relax you, but seriously...it shows self-control to wait and follow the law. Now I say this, but this may change next year. I will try to not let that happen. I repsect myself for being able to say no and choose what I want to do without anyone else choosing for me. I really hope that I am going into this whole thing not knowing that college will be the best years of my life. I just do not like change all that much, even though it is just a part of life. We will have to see. I do, however, plan on doing some swimming club or something like that next year. I really hope that I am just looking at this whole situation the wrong way and that I will love my college years.

Prom...
Dctionary.com says:
a formal dance, esp. one held by a high school or college class at the end of an academic year
Congratulations Herndon...you have fulfilled the defenition of Prom according to dictionary.com
This year's prom was better than last years, I must say. However, it was not better when it came to the music department. Again this year, we had DJ Butta. He sucked. He should not have persued a career as a DJ. Who likes him? I hated him SO much. Everyone that I talked to hated him too. He would stop songs after one measure or refrain. Sure he played the cha cha slide, but still. He also played the electric slide...which was a stupid Idea. The establishment this year, however, WAS better than lasts year. But, I think I would rather have had the same price of a prom ticket from last year and go to the same place that we had it at last year than pay more to have it at a marriot. But, for the class of 2010's sake, it was a nice place. It was kind of funny because Dominion High School was having their prom on the floor above us. What an interesting development! People from our school were trying to go to their prom, and people from their school were trying to go to our prom. It was kind of funny. One of the stupid rules they had was that girls, or anyone for that matter, could not have their shoes off outside the ball room. What Nazis! Whatever...it was good. But, yes this year's prom was better than last year's, thank goodness!

4th Quarter Blog Post #4
So this past weekend was the opening weekend for Pixar's new movie, UP. It did well...it was in second when it came to the money that it gained. This movie is another great production from Pixar...so i've heard. I have also heard that it had a sad ending. But there was also rejoicing! That made me happy. The movie did not do so well here in the US, but after it goes overseas, it is expected to do well. All the other Pixar movies have made a bulk of their money from overseas. The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Cars were all Pixar productions. All have been on the top lists of animated movies and have been able to compete with other important pictures. Disney own Pixar and they have been partners for many years. I am going to watch this movie. I must admit that I judged Cars before I ever saw it. After I saw it, I must admit that I enjoyed it. There has not been a Pixar movie that I have not enjoyed yet...! KEEP 'EM COMING!

4th Quarter Blog Post #3
Yes...this week's blog post has to do with the terminator franchise. I enjoy this franchise so much. This was one of the first movies that I was ever introduced to. In this week's article, I was able to find out a few things about the trilogy, and ultimately, the fourth movie. The second terminator was the first movie to have a $200 million budget. Also, in the movie, the woman who played Sarah Connor actually has a twin who plays in the movie too. Whenever the T 1000 took the form of Sarah, her twin ended up playing it. That was an interesting fact for the movie that interested me at such a young age. I read that they ahd to do voice overs for the guy who played John Connor because his voice got deeper by the end of filming. Also, the producers originally the producers wanted an average looking man to play the original terminator. When Arnold came in to read for the man who becomes John's father, they did not see him as such, and gave him the terminator role. The producers wanted the terminator to look like the T 1000 from the second terminator movie. I do not know why I enjoy this movie so much, but I do. Even though the thrid one was kind of bad, I still like to watch it from time to time! I have heard that the frouth one is pretty good and that there is an animation of the young arnold from the first movie, in the fourth movie. Apparently Arnold was too busy governing California to make an appearance in the movie! SWEEEEEEET!PEACE...

4th Quarter Blog Post #2
This week's article is not as exciting. It has to do with a new website that was created by some company somewhere in the grand US. It is called BillMyParents.com. This website makes it THAT much easier for children to try to get something from their parents. As if children already do not have enough resources to try to put their parents more in debt, this new website comes along. This website allows children who find something that they like (on selected websites) and are able to send a type of link to the parent's e-mail addresses make up the concept. The parent has the choice to either deny or actually accept the child's request. All the parent has to do is click a button. If having trouble making the decision, the parent can read a little blurb that is sent with the e-mail that is written by the child. This little area is there for the child to be able to explain why they need this certain item, or try to persuade their parents to get them this money. BillMyParents.com is not done yet. They plan to add a choice of giving the child a weekly allowance. WHOAH. I think that children today are too spoiled, and this website just makes it easier for children to become spoiled. This bothers me. The internet is a wonderful thing, unless it spoils children!

4th Quarter Blog Post #1
This week's article was about a guy named Tyler Frost from Ohio, who was suspended because he went to his girlfriend's prom. He is not alowed to walk with his graduating class of 4 too. BTW...he attends a christian school in Ohio that does not believe in rock music an dancing. His dad was not happy, so he made a tiff, but lost.
WHOAH...rewind...WTF? How can this school tell one of their students what they can and can't do in their free time? Is that illegal? If it is, someone say something! Does anyone else think that this is kind of like Footloose? Another question, why would his parents pay money so he could go to this backwards school and get suspended when there are perfectly good public schools that are free of charge? I am sure that they are now kicking themselves in the butt because they were stupid. I do not believe in trading in a child's social life for education. That is bogus. There are jobs out there that do not really require an education, but all of them require social skills. This bogus rule can damage these students in the long run. All the parents with children at this school need to realize that the school does not know when to stop at its boundaries. The principal of the public school said that he did not agree with the private school's rules, but respected their decision. If this private school could get into the year of 2009 where the american culture and religion of christianity are mixed, that'd be great for those few hundred students at that school. This is making me stress, I beter stoo, or i'll be getting premature grays!!!
